ACTION: Stop CT Ban of Reptiles
The State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection is taking steps to revise animal regulations that could ban many reptiles. Revisions could put a halt to the importation and possession of many commonly held reptiles. The proposed regulatory changes were motivated by an incident with a Chimpanzee that gained national attention. The reptiles included in the proposal have posed no demonstrable threat to the environment, or human and animal health and safety. This is a jerk knee reaction that has not been well thought out. The language of the proposal is from a boiler plate proposal written by members of the Animal Rights Industry.
USARK suggests our Model State Legislation as a much more reasonable alternative. The USARK proposal provides for secure containment, environmental integrity and public health & safety protocols.

I am absolutely shocked that out of all of the proposed bans out there, not one of them mentions venomous snakes. I know that my pets will be next on the firing line though and if they can ban a ball python or red tail boa, cobras and vipers will not stand a chance. I have visited my senators office here in FL and had a talk with his assistant about the bans here now it is time for everyone to try and out an end to this rising trend in banning snakes.

So they're using a CHIMPANZEE attack to motivate a REPTILE ban?!?! Farking idiotic damn politicians, and the imbecilic morons who have nothing better to do than ruin other peoples lives "in their own best interest". Someone should take a baseball bat to these idiots frontal lobes...

So far their atempts have been thankfully unsucessfull so they are twisting and turnning untill they find someone that likes their ideals and then start from there. Fellow herpers stand together dont give up, we CAN beat them.

This. Chimp attacks and reptile attacks are about as different as animal attacks can get.

Reptiles don't chase you down and destroy your face, hands, and genitals, because you made the wrong facial expression, or something like that.
